# Run a schedule now

POST

/v1/schedules/{triggerId}/run-now

```sh
curl --request POST \
  --url https://example.com/v1/schedules/2489E9AD-2EE2-8E00-8EC9-32D5F69181C0/run-now \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>'
```

One fire outside the schedule (`manual: true` in its history), starting one run as the schedule’s owner. The schedule’s next occurrence is unchanged. A personal schedule’s owner or a project admin fires it; a shared one, any writer of its project.

## Authorizations

- **[bearerAuth](https://docs.kindgi.com/v0.5.0/reference/api.md#bearerauth)**

## Parameters

### Path Parameters

**triggerId**

required

string format: uuid

TriggerId — the trigger id (a UUID).

### Header Parameters

**Idempotency-Key**

string

\>= 1 characters

Caller-supplied idempotency key, scoped to the caller: the same key from someone else in the workspace is their own request (from 0.1.5). Retries with the same key return the original response byte-identical (per `docs/API-ROUTE-CONVENTIONS.md` §3.1). A retry sent while the first request still runs is answered `409 idempotency-key-in-flight` with `Retry-After`, on a runtime whose store holds keys (from 0.1.5); retry after it, and you get the first request’s answer. An answer that carries a secret (a new API key or public run token, a session token, a generated signing secret) isn’t kept: a retry gets `409 idempotency-key-replay-withheld`, with the first request’s status and when it succeeded (from 0.1.5). A request whose key store can’t be read before it runs is answered `503 idempotency-store-unavailable` with `Retry-After`: nothing ran, so retry with the same key (from 0.3.0).

## Responses

### 202

The fire; its run starts in the background.

application/json

One fire of a schedule (an occurrence, or a `run-now`) and what came of it. `pending` while its run is being started.

object

**fireId**

required

string

**scheduleId**

required

string

**triggerId**

required

string

**scheduledFor**

The occurrence it is for; absent on a `run-now` fire.

string format: date-time

**firedAt**

required

string format: date-time

**outcome**

required

`skipped-overlap`: the previous fire’s run was still going (`overlap: skip`). `skipped-erasure`: the person the fire acts for is being erased, so no new run starts for them until the erasure completes. `skipped`, as `detail` says: what an improve schedule waits for wasn’t there (enough new corrections since its last Improve run, or room under its month’s cap); the target’s project is suspended (`project-suspended`), so no run or Improve run started; its run or Improve run hadn’t started when its workspace was suspended, and the restore concluded it (`tenant-suspended`); or its workspace was suspended or closing as its run started (`tenant-suspended`, `tenant-closing`). None of the skipped outcomes counts toward the auto-pause; `refused` and `failed` do, unless `countsTowardPause` is `false`. A skip for a suspension or a close (`project-suspended`, `tenant-suspended`, `tenant-closing`) doesn’t reset the auto-pause’s count of fires in a row either.

string

Allowed values: pending started skipped-overlap skipped-erasure skipped refused failed

**runId**

The run it started.

string format: uuid

**version**

The trigger’s version its run started with: the newest when it started. Absent until the run starts.

integer

\>= 1

**improveRunId**

The Improve run it started (an improve schedule).

string format: uuid

**detail**

Why it was refused, skipped or failed.

string

**countsTowardPause**

Whether this fire counted toward the trigger’s auto-pause (5 in a row by default). `false` for a refusal for a limit, such as the workspace’s runs pending (`detail` starts `rate-limited:`): the limit passes, and the trigger isn’t at fault. Absent from a runtime that doesn’t say: `refused` and `failed` fires counted, and the others didn’t.

boolean

**missedCount**

Occurrences this fire stood in for after a gap (`catchUp: latest`).

integer

\>= 1

**manual**

A `run-now` fire, outside the schedule.

boolean

### 403

`permission-denied`: the schedule is personal and the caller is neither its owner nor a project admin (the message names the owner), or it’s shared and changing what it runs takes a project admin. A caller without `write` on its project (for an `improve` schedule, `publish` on the agent) is refused first, and learns nothing of its owner.
